>From Quora:

"For the longest time, I assumed 'TITSUP' meant that something — usually a
piece of equipment or a vehicle — had broken and was therefore
metaphorically dead on its back and staring blankly into the sky.

"Turns out I was wrong. TITSUP means: Total Inability To Support Usual
Performance."
